dbeacon and SixXS graphics

[Hugo Santos]

Hi Pim,

 Thank you for reporting this, I've commited the change to the upstream svn.

 I don't think I've ever thanked (or asked for that matter) SixXS for
the support, but let me take the opportunity now to do so. Initially
it was only a temporary solution but it stuck. Thanks for all the
borrowed bytes, I'm sure all the users do too. :-)

 Best regards,
   Hugo
